NV Employer Denied PTO & Issued Point for Sick Kid. Legal? | Aug 17, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
I need perspective on whether my employer is breaking the law or if they are within their rights. I work for a large private employer in Nevada with well over 50 employees. Our employee handbook requires a minimum 2-hour notice when calling out. Today, I called out 6 hours before my shift start time because my child was sick, and I asked to use my front-loaded PTO. My manager flatly denied the PTO, telling me that caring for a sick kid does not qualify for PTO usage. He stated I cannot use PTO for the day due to this not being an emergency or that since I am not the one that is sick and assessed an attendance point against me. On top of that, our written policy specifically states that points will not be assessed if PTO is used to cover an absence, yet my manager is assessing a point anyway after refusing to let me use my accrued hours. HR previously claimed verbally that PTO is strictly for pre-scheduled time off or major emergencies, not unscheduled call-outs. Are they actually allowed to do this in Nevada? location: Nevada,USA
Can my old workplace tell people why i was fired | Aug 11, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Nevada I am currently in between jobs, looking for a new one. I have been applying to jobs, and have gotten a few interviews, yet no offers yet. One of the places I applied to is where one of my childhood friends work. The other day we were talking and I mentioned being a bit down about not being able to find a job yet. That I've applied to quite literally everywhere with a for hire sign that I can work at, and haven't been offered a job. He told me that its probably because my old boss is telling those who call that I was fired because I was creating a hostile work enviroment. I've stopped using them as a reference, and havent teally seen anything saying its not legal, but that feels wrong. Can they tell them that? Is that legal? I thought they could only say whether or not they would hire you back? If this is actively harming my job hunt, is there anything I can do other then not having my old job as a reference? (Edited only because i accidentallt hit the post button before I was ready to.)
